Chapter 680 - 674: Uninvited Guests
"Tier One?"
"I’m not interested in Tier One; I’ve never thought about achieving Tier One."
"The happiest days were when I was still weak, spending time with little sister in the Void."
"If my little sister wants to achieve Tier One, then I’ll help her achieve it."
"If my little sister wants to go further, I’ll give it my all to help her take the next step!" Xi Huang slowly said, his tone incredibly sincere.
To Xi Huang, as long as Wa Huang is happy, that’s all that matters.
After listening to Xi Huang, Wa Huang felt a warm feeling in her heart.
After some thought, Xi Huang seemed to realize something, and hesitantly said, "Buddha has suffered a great loss and will probably not let it go."
"Buddha is cunning and full of tricks, and he’ll likely try all ways to drag little sister down."
Hearing this, Wa Huang nodded repeatedly.
Wa Huang had known Buddha for too long, and they had interacted too many times.
Wa Huang was very clear about Buddha’s ways.
Wa Huang knew that Xi Huang was right.
Of course, Buddha is cunning and full of tricks, but Wa Huang is not naive.
"From today, spread the word that I’m going into retreat!"
"Not only am I in retreat, but everyone in Wa Huang’s Palace is not allowed to leave."
"Even you, big brother, should not go out today, and if you must, be very careful!" Wa Huang took the most straightforward and direct approach.
Wa Huang’s Palace directly sealed itself off, clearly telling Buddha that no matter what tricks he pulls, she will not engage.
Xi Huang nodded, acknowledging Wa Huang’s tactic.
This move is the most straightforward and direct but effective.
As long as she doesn’t meet with Buddha, she won’t have to deal with him or reject him.
Simply not seeing him means there’s no need to engage in a battle of wits with him.
Thinking of this, Xi Huang said to Wa Huang, "Little sister, since we have a plan, let’s immediately announce it and seal ourselves off!"
"The longer the night, the more dreams there are. Better to avoid unforeseen complications."
"Okay...." Wa Huang was about to agree when a disciple from Wa Huang’s Palace hurriedly ran in.
The disciple entered the hall and knelt on one knee before Wa Huang: "Master, Buddha and the Demon Lord are outside requesting an audience."
Wa Huang: "????"
Xi Huang: "????"
Hearing the report, the expressions of Wa Huang and Xi Huang turned from red to white, then from white to green, and changed further....
The expression on Wa Huang and Xi Huang’s faces, that’s a story in itself.
It’s truly a case of ’speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears.’
Just as Xi Huang and Wa Huang mentioned sealing off, who’d have thought Buddha and the Demon Lord would show up before they could seal it?
Though it seemed a matter of only a moment, the significance of that moment was entirely different.
If Wa Huang had sealed off first and then the Demon Lord and Buddha arrived, it would have been simply bad timing for them.
But now, since the Demon Lord and Buddha arrived first, sealing off after that would indicate a refusal to meet them.
Women, after all, are women; no matter how powerful, they’re still women.
The sudden arrival of the Demon Lord and Buddha disrupted Wa Huang and Xi Huang’s plans.
For a moment, Wa Huang was at a loss: "Big brother, what should we do now?"
Xi Huang’s face was somewhat grim; despite all calculations, they miscalculated this moment. Could it be fate?
If they met Buddha and the Demon Lord now, they’d inevitably be drawn into their schemes.
Not meeting them would mean openly turning against them.
Xi Huang hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
"Don’t meet them!"
"I’ll deal with them and say that you, little sister, encountered a mishap during your training!"
"As long as you don’t show yourself, they’ll just have to accept it quietly!" Xi Huang said solemnly.
Wa Huang nodded: "I’ll leave it all to you, big brother."
Wa Huang and Buddha, and the Demon Lord are all strong adversaries, but Wa Huang’s Palace is Wa Huang’s domain.
As long as Wa Huang is determined to hide, the Demon Lord and Buddha won’t find her.
After the siblings agreed on their strategy, Wa Huang concealed herself as Xi Huang went to greet Buddha and the Demon Lord.
Outside Wa Huang’s Palace.
"A rare visitor, a rare visitor!"
"Buddha, Demon Lord, what wind has blown you two here?" Xi Huang greeted the two with clasped hands.
The Demon Lord couldn’t be bothered with Xi Huang and directly said, "Where is Wa Huang?"
"We want to see her."
The Demon Lord never regarded Xi Huang, considering him just a lackey for Wa Huang.
There was nothing to discuss with a lackey.
The Demon Lord’s disdain didn’t bother Xi Huang, who still wore a cheerful smile.
"Alas!" Xi Huang’s expression changed; the smile vanished, replaced by a worried look, followed by a heavy sigh: "You two have come at an inconvenient time!"
"A few days ago, little sister made a mistake in her training, and it seems quite serious."
"Currently, she’s trying to heal her injuries, and it may be a while before she can see you."
"If you two have any matters, why not tell me...?"
Buddha: "????"
Demon Lord: "????"
Of course, Buddha and the Demon Lord didn’t believe this excuse.
Wa Huang got injured at exactly this moment? Such an excuse is practically an insult!
Do they really think we’re as gullible as three-year-olds?
"Tell you?"
"Is it your place to hear? Are you worthy?" the Demon Lord scolded coldly.
The Demon Lord thought, if you’re going to treat me like a child, don’t expect me to treat you nicely.
"This is not a place for discussion; let’s go inside Wa Huang’s Palace."
"After all, guests are guests; Wa Huang’s Palace wouldn’t mind serving two cups of tea!" Buddha said as he stepped into Wa Huang’s Palace.
Buddha and the Demon Lord were clearly determined to see Wa Huang today and did not regard themselves as mere guests.
Xi Huang wanted to block these troublesome guests, but then the presence of Buddha and the Demon Lord pressed down on him, leaving him motionless.
Xi Huang was not of the same level as Tier One; he couldn’t compete with Buddha and the Demon Lord.
Let alone handle both at once?
Xi Huang was helpless, having no choice but to watch as Buddha and the Demon Lord forcefully entered Wa Huang’s Palace.
Once Buddha and the Demon Lord entered, the oppressive force they exerted on Xi Huang dissipated.
Watching their backs, Xi Huang gritted his teeth, thinking: "Let them enter, then!"
"I want to see what you can do if little sister refuses to meet you."
Xi Huang was prepared to go against Buddha and the Demon Lord; if necessary, they’d let them stay at Wa Huang’s Palace indefinitely.
If they want to stay as long as they like, fine. But seeing Wa Huang? Impossible.
With that thought, Xi Huang hurriedly followed, instructing staff to prepare tea and snacks for Buddha and the Demon Lord.
Even now, Xi Huang maintained all manners of hospitality.
But he never mentioned bringing Wa Huang to meet the Demon Lord and Buddha.
